Feeling Thrifty and Frugal: School Expenses

﻿﻿I recently read that it's just as expensive to send a child to some preschools as to college. I don't know about that, but it made me curious. I just looked up how much it would cost to put my three children in Christian school. $15,000/year plus clothing and fees and transportation. That's a minimum of $18,000. If I had to work to cover it, I'd probably have to make at least $22,500 before taxes! That doesn't even include the lifestyle changes that would result. Suddenly, my work as a homeschool mom seems to add a bit more to the family income!

When my children were in public school years ago, I remember that they were constantly bringing home letters needing money for this-and-that, not even counting the cost to drive them to and from school, clothing and other supplies. Homeschool has been a blessing financially for us.

Lovely Laura I always admire parents who home teach as it is such a tremendous thing to do for your children and your community. You are an inspiration Laura, have a fabulous week ahead. Big hugs to you and your lovely familyDorothy:-)xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
